-   **Improved recovery rate** (minimised scapular resistance)
-   Distributes your weight where it needs to be
-   No overtightened girth
-   **The perfect weight**, lighter than most polo saddles
-   The saddle tree has a natural flex, both longitudinally and diagonally, allowing the MVP to **follow the horse's movements**
-   **Enhances breathing**
-   **Minimises pressure on the loins** (particularly when your horse's legs & underneath itself & its back is raised)

**Exciting news... Our [MVP Series 2](https://ainsleysaddlery.com/collections/latest-saddles/products/mvp-saddle-series-2 "MVP Series 2") is here!  This includes new panel options Wool-Flocked or Freedom Foam - more fitting options than ever before.  Click [here](https://ainsleysaddlery.com/collections/latest-saddles/products/mvp-saddle-series-2 "MVP Series 2") to read more.**  

Enjoy peace of mind that your investment is protected with a **15 year warranty on the saddle tree** and a 5 year warranty on the rest of the saddle.  

**Panels**  

The Series 1 MVP is available in our Slimline panels.  Get in touch if you need a hand deciding on the best option for your horse.

Our Slimline panels are ideal for most horses with good top lines and muscular backs. Fitting the flat withered round-shouldered polo pony to the narrow high withered thoroughbred.

  

**Gullet Plates**

Changeable gullet plates ensure a perfect fit for all shapes and widths, providing exceptional clearance at withers.

-   Each MVP saddle includes three gullet plate sizes, with medium (most common) installed unless requested otherwise.
-   Can be exchanged in 5 minutes by anyone who can use an allen key!
-   Made from spring steel, much less prone to spread over time (many polo saddles spread over time causing reduced clearance between withers and pommel).

**The Quality**

-   **Exceptionally strong saddle tree** to stand up to the rigours of polo
-   **Spring steel gullet plates** that will not spread over time
-   **Extremely durable billets** \- buffalo hide with a raw hide inside
-   **Rough-out leather** that outlasts suede by many years

We are so confident in the quality that every MVP comes with a 15 year warranty on the tree and a 5 year warranty on the rest of the saddle.

  

**Bespoke Nameplates**

  

We can organise bespoke brass nameplates (as pictured) with your name, initials, polo team or logo.  Please get in touch via email info@ainsleysaddlery.com to arrange.
